About ROWSG
Team "ROWSG" consists of two key persons: Dr. Paul Cull and his former Ph.D. student Dr. Tai Hsu, who are enthusiasts of Cybernetics which attempts to solve problems by using ideas based on biological systems. Dr. Cull is a well known scientist in mathematical biology and neural nets. Dr. Hsu has been working on machine vision using algorithms of computational biology, and been a hobbyist in robotics. Their methods have won several academic awards. Three graduate students (Northwestern Polytechnic University) joined the team as part of their graduate projects/thesises. ROWSG stands for five key technologies: Route planning, Optical inertial measurement system, Walking Tree Method, Stereo vision, and GPS. Our vehicle is named "Beaveroid" for the mascot of Oregon State University.
